There is a zip file available for download here.īEFORE WE PROCEED, the usual and important disclaimer that you should have a backup of your computer and any tinkering under the hood is entirely at your own risk.Īnd MORE IMPORTANTLY, if you have installations of other versions of FileMaker, your folders may have additional items in them, so proceed with even more caution and the steps below should not be followed as you’ll likely delete files required for other versions. So, to fix it, we need to get the right folders and files in that location. Again this was a brand new computer with just FileMaker Server installed and configured, and then the drag and drop installation of FileMaker Pro. How that folder structure came to be, we have no idea.

Or you can use BBEdit to find out what the file encoding of the file you exported from FileMaker is.The above screenshot is not what should be in that FileMaker folder. If that doesn’t bring in all the data properly, try UTF-8.

Tap Forms needs this first row of field names to know what fields to create during the import process.Īlso, you’ll want to get the File Encoding setting correct in Tap Forms on the Import Records window. When you use that format, FileMaker will write a header row with the names of the fields in your table. I would recommend though that from FileMaker you export your records as a Merge format file. Then use the File > Import Records command.

You just need to create a new document first so that you have something you can import into. You can import a CSV / tab delimited file into Tap Forms. The fields define the structure of the form and the records are your data. A Form in Tap Forms is a container for Fields and Records.
